The Problem
People struggle to navigate which support programs they qualify for, and intake teams spend time screening ineligible applicants.

How NIVA Handles This Automatically

A services persona explains programs from a knowledge base, the Flow Engine screens eligibility via structured questions, branches to the right program, and captures applications via Smart Forms routed by webhook. On-prem deployment supports sensitive data.

How NIVA Powers This

Under the hood this maps to NIVA's documented engines. The persona engine handles tone and routing for non-profit, drawing on a library of pre-trained personas so the agent speaks the language of the domain from day one rather than being trained from scratch. The flow engine runs the conditional steps in the sequence shown above, branching on the visitor's answers so each person follows the path that fits their situation. The smart-form engine surfaces structured fields at the moment intent appears, capturing clean data inline instead of bouncing the user to a separate form. Cross-session memory preserves context so returning users are recognised and never asked to repeat themselves. Finally, webhooks push the completed interaction into your systems of record, and per-persona tool calls can read live data from your APIs mid-conversation wherever an endpoint exists. None of these steps requires writing code; they are assembled in the no-code admin and embedded with a single script tag.
Who Is This For

This is a public-facing deployment that engages prospects and customers directly on your website or app. It is designed to capture demand that would otherwise be lost outside business hours, to deflect the repetitive questions that consume your non-profit team, and to turn anonymous traffic into structured, followed-up leads.

In practical terms, the shift looks like this: on program navigation, you move from confusing to guided; on ineligible intake, you move from high to screened out; on application capture, you move from manual to structured; on data sensitivity, you move from shared infra to on-prem option. Each of these is a direct consequence of moving the interaction from a manual, human-gated channel to an always-available conversational one that still escalates to a person when the situation genuinely needs it.

Implementation Note

Implementation reality: the conversational layer, routing, data capture, and system handoff are all within NIVA's documented no-code capabilities. Where this use case reads or writes live data, it assumes the relevant API or webhook endpoint exists on your side; that integration is the one piece worth scoping before launch. Start with the knowledge base and flow, then layer in live API calls once the core experience is proven.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a beneficiary eligibility screening chatbot?
It is a NIVA-powered conversational agent in which services persona explains programs from a knowledge base, the Flow Engine screens eligibility via structured questions, branches to the right program, and captures applications via Smart Forms routed by webhook. It runs on your website or app and works around the clock without adding headcount.
How does NIVA build this without code?
You select a pre-trained Non-Profit persona, connect your knowledge sources, and assemble the flow and forms in the no-code admin. The example flow on this page can be replicated step by step, and the bot embeds with a single script tag.
Can it connect to our existing systems?
Yes. Completed conversations fire webhooks into your CRM, booking system, or ticketing tool, and per-persona tool calls can read live data from your APIs during the conversation where an endpoint exists.
How quickly can we go live?
Because the Non-Profit persona is pre-trained and the engines are no-code, a working version of this use case can be configured and embedded quickly, then refined against real conversations.
